Hi Everyone,
I wrote a letter to the WHO and AMA agencies a few years ago asking to add a Cough diagnosis for use for children or young teens. Of course I got no reply. However I think the illness symptom of Cough for specifically children would be a great addition. I have some other diagnosis codes I think the WHO and AMA agencies should update the disease manual with the following. such as : support animals for mental behavioral health ill patients set up as Z dx. code, or bilateral pain code for extremities of legs, hands, arms, instead of listing each dx. code for painful limbs or extremities. Also having a specific location on the body dx. for skin rashes, or edema be better too I feel instead of just plain old dx. R60, dx. L85 or dx. L30. Does anyone agree with my thinking or a waste of time to contact these agencies again?
